Hi All -- I am Vicky from Earthquake Land USA. Its been a little more than two years that I have accepted the fact that I am indeed an MtF Transsexual. I just passed day 700 on Estrogen and feel the best I have ever felt in my 6+ decades of life. I am admittedly old enough to be parent or grandparent to some of the poster's I have seen here, but am otherwise a new teenager, both in body and mind set. I have a tiny smidge of jealousy for any of you under the age of 25 for your ability to have places like this to come to for the help and support that you DESERVE.

Beginning at about the age of five and then for too many years I was one of those for whom Gender Identity problems were too terrible to think about EVER and who submerged myself in my family and its expections and demands as a way to deny how badly wrong I thought my body was. It almost worked until certain members no longer existed, and the only person I could be responsible to and for was myself and I did not know how to do that. (Omitted -- Stuff I'll post over on the Alcoholism Board) Getting help for a substance abuse problem got me into a counseling and therapy program, that finally with my open admissions of some things that do make me VERY different from a large percentage of people, got me to the place where HRT was recommended and began. The journey continues, and I am looking forward to posting here and being part of this "neck of the woods" of the Transgender Folks in this world.

Hi Vicky and welcome to forums! I'd ask you to take a moment to go over the Terms and Conditions (upper right) so that you know how the forums operate.

Sounds like you'll be a very valuable addition to our MTF crowd, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts!

Welcome Vicky to laura's I am almost 40 and I am so jealoous of those under 25. They have such bright futures and hopefully because of the wisdom they gain from our experiences tthey can avoid some of the pitfalls that we fell into attempting to hide from ourselves.

Hi and welcome, Vicky. I know exactly how you feel. I'm excited for the folks who are under 25, but a wee bit jealous that they're entering the world at the time they are.

Thanks all for putting out the Welcome mat, and not showing me to the Egress as PT Barnum was known to do. We all do need each other, since we do have unique things in our lives that are really NOT understandable to non-trans folks no matter how hard we try to tell them what is necessary for us to do to stay alive and sane. To the Welcoming Committee so far, I am the grandchild of a bona fide immigrant from Ireland, who married a woman who was born in Iowa, I live in So. California, but worked for the State of same for 33 years, and thus was in Northern California on plenty of occasions. Now I may get to some of the other parts of both the world and the rest of the US. ;)

Hi Vicky,

<<< hug >>>

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

We all look forward to seeing you.

      I'm a masculine woman. It's not about masculinity though. It's about expanding what it means to be a woman.

      It never rains but it pours.  We had a dry spring, but now my garden is a swamp and my yard is a pond.  Get off the gravel road, and you'd need a hovercraft.    With nothing better to do, I'm going on a short trip with my husband tomorrow.  Since he's in management he usually doesn't do this sort of work, but whenever he does I usually go along.  And he already knows not to try staying in a hotel, because I want to sleep in the bunk in the truck.  So much more cozy.    And for a couple of days, GF can actually take care of her own kids instead of leaving them to me....

      I have played clarinet, but without talent.  And while I *can* sing, I think listening to it would be an acquired taste.

      Something that would help is reducing salt intake which causes the body to hold water and causes inflammation, another thing would be to add cardio to your exercise routine. Lowering your overall body fat will affect your face appearance. Hope this helps :)

      Hi Sally, okay I'll head on over to your post and check out your makeup techniques.
    • Sally Stone
      Hey all,   It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup.  It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques.   Here is the link to Part 1:       Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses. 
    • Ladypcnj
      Thanks for the replies, as an admin from my own group I understand the same rules, agreed. 
    • MaryEllen
      Any links posted would have to meet this criteria  All content posted or shared through TransPulse services must be appropriate for minors. We welcome members aged 13 to 18. As such, adult or pornographic content, nudity, underwear images, violence, gore, and other content not suitable for minors may not be posted anywhere to this service.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here? 
    • Ladypcnj
      Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.
